Spratton Hall embodies the values of a traditional prep school and academic achievement is always encouraged and rewarded. However, we are an all-round school, and as such, we help children develop their strengths wherever they lie, be they in Sport, Drama, Art, STEM, or Music. Recently recognised by The Week as being a “great all-round school”, we have 50 acres of first-rate facilities, including: a purpose-built theatre, art studios, science labs, an indoor sports dome, floodlit AstroTurf and multiple sports courts, tracks, pitches and cricket nets. Our 65 extracurricular activities further ensure that we have something to delight and inspire every child.

In our Pre-prep department, determination and kindness are woven into all areas of the curriculum, and children receive daily individual support from highly experienced Early Years teachers. To complement their classroombased learning, they also enjoy regular PE, Dance, Music, Art, Drama and Forest School sessions. In 2021 the Pre-Prep School was proud to be shortlisted for ‘PrePrep School of the Year’. With a 100% pass rate at Common Entrance and multiple annual scholarships to top public schools, the rigorous academic curriculum is balanced with fun inter-house competitions, school trips and our exceptional pastoral care.

Our dedicated Head of Pastoral Care oversees the wellbeing and welfare of all pupils, and a well-resourced learning support team are always on hand to help children overcome any academic obstacles they may meet. Meanwhile parents are supported with extended school days, free wraparound care, and local minibus routes. To experience a typical school day, personal, tours with the Head Master can be booked at www.sprattonhall.com. When you visit the website, you can also order a prospectus, or take a 360° virtual tour of our facilities.
